Swim Workout shows nearly every time "kick"

4263146

Hi Garmin, 

my FR955 shows always that I have to do "kicks" within my swimming sessions.

Doesn't matter if I have made the session in the App or on the Web.

What can help? I haven't stated any type of exercise just swim 200m freestyle.

SW 21.19
iOs App 5.7.3.2

    Also an issue for me. Forerunner 935 had no issues with displaying the correct drill from the same synchronisation process and same training plan. "Upgraded" this week because 935 was restarting and losing workout multiple times in the swim.

    1. Happy to give permission to access my data.

    2. Activity is created in Training Peaks and synced to Garmin. These are the same workouts that worked correctly on the 935.

    3. Please do reach out via email

    1) yes

    2) synced with TrainingPeaks- following an Ironman plan- workouts get imported from TP

    This has started to plague my 965 as well. First Garmin device. Been following TrainingPeaks structured training for 2 months now and swims were fine. Within last week or two, all swims display kick...

    Hello - Any updates on this?

    This is also happening with my forerunner 965. My swim workouts show Kick instead of freestyle. My pace also shows up as a really long number, i.e., 16543.89/100 m. I'm slow, but not that slow : )

    1. Yes, you can view my activities.

    2. Yes, my workouts are synced through TrainingPeaks. II have a Phil Mosley Trainingpeaks plan. I did not have this issue with my older forerunner 920XT

    3. Yes, please contact me via email.

    Thank you.

    Same for me. I bring a print out of my swim in a plastic sleeve to make sure I'm on the right set. 

    Although, 3000m kick might be a great drill Thinking

    All, 

    This has been fixed on beta version 23.09 which is currently available. For information on how to enroll and download beta, see Enrolling in and Learning About Garmin Beta Software Program. 

    Feel free to wait for the live software release if you do not wish to install beta. Thank you for your patience as we investigated this disruption!

    Do you have a time frame on the live software release?

    I still have this issue which drove me crazy today whilst trying to perform a critical swim speed test.

    I have a FR255S music and just started to train for a full IM; never had issues following swimming workout before, imported from TrainingPeaks.

    Today I noticed all the swimming workouts will display “kick”! I can’t remember by heart what I am supposed to do, so following a workout on the watch is super helpful, but not like this! 
    I am apparently on the latest software version, it says on the watch 22.24

    Anyone else still experiencing this? Super annoyed as I have another swim planned for Thursday… 

    Thanks!
